So, the time we knew was coming has at last crept up on us, and Bailey has to get on movin'! We sent her off with the grandest and vegan-est of all feasts and a whole lot of love! We were lucky enough to have the festivities documented by the most wonderful professional photographer in town, Vicki Palombo from
Photographic Memories. (

http://www.vickimichael.blogspot.com/) This is what was on the menu for our vegtastic extravaganza:
- Nori Rolls with Sweet Potato, Tempeh, and Avocado and Sweet Brown Rice
- Lentil-Walnut Pate with Garlic-Herb Crostini
- Marinated Portabello and Eggplant Napoleons with Cashew Cream and Pesto
- 3-Spice Potatoes
- Apple-Cider and Brown Sugar Brussels Sprouts with Pecans
- Kale Salad with Roasted Daikon and Sweet Miso Dressing
- Pumpkin Crumb Cake with Pecan Streusal Topping
We went to Whole Foods in the morning and started cooking around 3. We served it around 7 and the sore feet and chaos paid off! The recipes came from 3 different vegan cookbooks as well as the magic of creativity and improvisation. All these recipes will be up under the recipe section soon.
Enjoy these snapshots! Bailey, I love making memories with you! And remember to chronicle your new (slightly colder) adventures! Love you!
